A/N: Well finally I get around to updating! Sorry but well…school is hell. Finally have a long weekend to write but anyway, last chapter was kinda redundant but this one will move the plot along. Read and Review please!

Aqua's POV

Man she's really taking things hard. We got back from visiting Spot and she just holed herself up in Spot's room and no one's seen her since. But backing things up a bit, when we left I decided to take charge of Brooklyn. Spot had once told me (not sure he really thought it would ever be necessary at the time) that if anything should happen to him that I should take over for him.

Well I did and Tiger came back to Brooklyn with me. You pretty much know the rest. The thing is, it's been two days since our visit and everyone has been getting worried about her not coming out of Spot's room. For all we know she hasn't even eaten anything since that night.

Well that's about to change because Jack's suppose to be finding out when the wedding is today. He paid Spot another visit last night and Spot told him if Jack came back around noon today that he'd know. It might help Tiger get over everything; to get the reality check that the date will bring…then again it might not.

Bam Bam. Well speak of the devil I think that's Jack now.

"Hey Aqua, she come out yet?" Jack said.

"Nope. So what's the bad news? When's the wedding dare I ask?" I asked Jack.

"In two days. That gives us enough time to work out a way to get Spot out of this." Jack said turning away, a plot already developing in his head.

"Jack you know there is no way to get him out. If there was Spot would have thought of it already." I said.

"Two days huh?" I heard a voice from the staircase and spun around to see a bloodshot and disshelved Tiger.

"Yeah," I said trying to smile at her. She looked like hell. Understandable considering she hadn't seen the sun in nearly three days.

"Well, it's nice to know at least he'll be better off. The more I think about it the more I realize we were both just kidding ourselves. Him pretending to be a street kid and me pretending I was good enough for him." Tiger started to turn around but I ran forward to grab her arm.

"You can't honestly think that Tiger. You can't seriously think that Spot will be better off with that…that…Devil. She's horrible! You are so much better than her and you know it. He loves you and only you." Tears started forming in her eyes and one even slipped down my cheek.

"Then what are we going to do?" She asked desperately. "I can't…I won't leave him like this."

"Then we have to get him out somehow." Jack said.

"But how, exactly are we going to do that? I mean unless we convinced Angel that marriage is the most horrible, most awful, painful…" I trailed off when Tiger's face lit up. I could practically see the light bulb going off in her head.

"That's EXACTLY what we'll do!" She yelled. "Come on! We have to get to Manhattan!" She squealed as she ran out the door. I looked at Jack quizzically and we ran out after her.

Spot's POV

Those damn assholes that call themselves my parents actually had the nerve to lock me in my room. They only let me out for meals and they have someone walk me down to the dining room. Normally I wouldn't be complaining about being left alone in a place like this but every room in this house makes me want to gag. All the high ceilings and whitewashed walls make me feel like I'm in an insane asylum. I mean why would someone want every room in their house to be white?

Jackyboy came to visit today. Came to get the date for the…the…god I can't even say it. Let's just refer to it as the day shall we? Well anyway he got the date for the day and went back to tell everyone. I'm not sure why they want to know when it is. Are they planning on dressing up and coming to celebrate the occasion? Or do they want to get me out? How?

Rap Rap. What the devil is Jackyboy doing back here? It's only been a few hours since he left.

"What are you doing Jack?" I whispered to him.

"Coming to tell you not to get too comfortable in this place. Or any hoity toity place like this for that matter. Tiger is a genius and she worked out a way to get you out. Can't tell you what it is right now cause it'll be better if we get some real reactions out of you on can't even listen to it so her it is: the day. Let's just say it's a good idea and you won't have to worry about Angel coming after you." Jack spoke very quickly and left even faster so that I didn't have any time to ask questions or even fully comprehend what had just occurred. The only thought I had right now was that I was getting out of here. I sat at the window and just stared blankly outside. Out into the world I had been ripped out of and the one I would soon be going back into. Thanks to my Tiger.

Looking into your eyes I know I'm right
If there's anything worth my love it's worth a fight
We only get one chance
But nothing ties our hands
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want
Is out of my reach (I'M FREE)
HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'M FREE)

Running away will never make you free
And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee
But I wanna hold you now
And I won't hold you down

I'm shaking the past
Making my breaks
Taking control
If that's what it takes

(I'M FREE)
HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'M FREE)

I just stared out until I heard the knock at my door that signaled dinner.

Back to Tiger's POV

I just sat and smiled, no beamed at everyone at the table in the Manhattan lodging house. Just the knowledge that I had a foolproof plan of getting Spot out without having Angel trail us for the rest of our, what would be very short, lives. Maybe we would be able to live in our paradise after all. Well almost.
